You'll Never Guess the Odd Place I was Hit on!

A few years ago, I headed to the pharmacy to pick up my birth control. The pharmacist explained that they were currently out of my brand and that he’d call me as soon as the next shipment came in. Of course, I gave him my number and thought nothing of it.

So imagine my surprise when he called two days later with some shocking news. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello?

Flirty Pharmacist: Hi Rosemary, this Jeff*. We met at the pharmacy the other day?

Me: Right, is my prescription ready?

Flirty Pharmacist: Uh, no actually.

Me: Huh. Is it back ordered or something?

Flirty Pharmacist: Nope. I was just calling to see what you were up to.

Me: Excuse me?

Flirty Pharmacist: And, also, I wanted to see if I could take you out sometime?

Me: No. I don’t think my boyfriend would like that. Me either for that matter.

I was livid! Who did he think he was? Did he think I was some sort of floozy because I was taking birth control? I felt so awkward and uncomfortable about the whole situation that I made a friend pick up my prescription when another pharmacist called to let me know it was in. I also switched pharmacies. What kind of a slime ball would risk his job like that?! It didn’t occur to me until later that I should have called his supervisors to complain.

What would you have done? Has anything like this ever happened to you? What's the strangest place you've been hit on?
